EXPERIENTIAL: life, love, past present and future lovers, friends, family, pain, loss, joy, magic, the sun, the moon, the King of Stars, all of the the stars, the laughter of children, the rain, the sound of the waves, my father, my grandfather, the sound of families crying for those who have died, the sound of guns exploding, the feeling in my chest when I swing on a swing with my eyes closed, the children I have yet to bare, the smell of jasmine tea, the taste of red wine, the way I feel when I look into someone's eyes for the first time.
Bio:
Meryl's music will carry you to a spiritual place you didn't quite know existed. If you caught not one of her lyrics you'll get there; if you catch all of her lyrics you will thusly have transcended the normalcy of life via her magic." -Adam Roufberg of Free Range Thought Radio WKNY 1490AM
"I was instantly hooked by.the ravishing voice, the faultless guitar,
the
beaming countenance of Meryl Joan Lammers."
-Chronogram
"Earthy and ethereal voice, compare[d] to Natalie Merchant, Norah
Jones,
Jewel and even Tori Amos, there is something that remains uniquely her
own
in each of her compositions."
